51 ford Vickie

I need to know what they go for I'm going To look at one this afternoon I know condition is most of it but any ideas would help

 

did you check ebay?

 

Should bring more than a 2-dr coupe and less than a convertible.

 

like anything, depends on a lot of things-condition, etc search lemonfree.com - going $20K+ and Hemmings Motor News $18K + rust and missing parts will bring the numbers way down-if you buy it post pics.

 

I'll post pics if I pick it up not sure what they want yet

 

....Post pics even if you don't pick it up. That way we'll all know what kind of shape it is in. And let us know what they want for it. '51 Vickies are way kool and quite desireable. Did you know that they all started out as convertibles?

Being I own one of each and have had a full hands on experience with each I can tell you that information is a Myth not Fact. The Vicky is not built on a convert frame, the floor pan is considerably different, When you lift the roof skin off the windshield frame and remove the drip rail the receivers for the Vert top pins are not stamped in the sheet metal and no screw plates. There are no provisions for top ram mounts in the floor, or seat riser. The rear panel ahead of the trunk lid is totally different between the two. The doors do interchange on 1950 verts only, not 49 also, and I believe the rear quarter windows may be the same. Other than that they are the same,,kind of.

She wants 1500 I think she would come down just not what Im wanting to get into now needs some work not a whole lot for someone that knows what there doing rust in usual spots no motor or trans and no ***le just bill of sale. all gl*** is there its kept inside everything other than the driveline seems to be there.

 

Buy an Old Car Price Guide mag and do some research.

 

15 Years ago I paid $2500.oo for the Vicky in my Avitar. It had been totally disasembeld including body off the frame. The Body had been lifted off by the Roof with a 4x4 through the window openings. Lots of stuff was missing or just plain destroyed by a Gas Ax or lack of care. It did however have a saving grace in that there was Zero rust anywhere. So I got a solid project and to boot the value was exchanged in a labor trade on another car of the prior owner, so the price didn't hurt,,,,,,to much. I'd do it all over again. You can't get much for $1500.oo that isn't rough to start with.

Im not saying thats not a good price for the car I just finished a total rebuild and Im trying to down size then redo and add some things to the 49 coupe I just got if I could make some cash on it I would do it just dont want it have a car that sits in the back and rots or wait on the right person to come along to buy it from me.
